Celebrities are putting the ‘A-list' in capitalist like never before
Celebrities are venturing beyond the billboard and the big screen – and into big business. Hailey Bieber, a model married to Justin, recently sold Rhode, her make-up brand, in a deal valued at as much as $US1 billion ($1.5 billion). Skims, a shapewear label founded by Kim Kardashian, a reality-TV star, makes $US1 billion in annual sales and is expected to list on the stockmarket soon. Rihanna is now a billionaire not directly because of her music, but thanks to Fenty Beauty, her make-up label. Ryan Reynolds, a Hollywood actor, is active in everything from telecoms to online privacy. Surprisingly, many of these superstar businesses have become a source of innovative new consumer products. Celebrities have long used their fame to peddle things. Michael Jordan, a basketball player, is thought to have made over $US1.5 billion ($2.3 billion) from his partnership with Nike over the past 40 years. Nespresso has reportedly paid George Clooney more than $US40 million ($61 million) to have his mug selling its coffee. Two decades ago Hulk Hogan, a professional wrestler, helped market the 'Hulkster' cheeseburger, pre-cooked and frozen for your convenience. The practice continues. This week President Donald Trump launched 'Victory 45-47″, a line of fragrances for men and women priced at $US249 ($379), having launched 'Fight Fight Fight' ($US199, $303) last year. By contrast, the new superstar brands put the A-list into capitalist. Ms Bieber and co are involved in operations and hold equity stakes of varying sizes in the underlying businesses. Many celebs have begun to rethink the value of traditional endorsement and licensing deals. Social media now give them a line straight to their fans. Direct-to-consumer distribution, meanwhile, has made getting a product to market easier than ever. Given that the real money is in building and owning a brand, rather than advertising, why not launch one instead? This thinking in turn is altering the life-cycle of consumer goods. Just as pharmaceutical giants acquire biotech startups to refresh their drug pipelines, so consumer giants are buying up the most successful celebrity brands. The match makes sense. The hardest part of building a brand is the first 100,000 sales, but the A-list has a fan base that is well-disposed towards them and their wares. Once a celebrity brand gets off the ground, a consumer giant has the production and distribution networks to help it grow. Loading Hence the series of deals. Among the first was Apple's acquisition of Beats Electronics, a headphones and streaming business co-founded by Dr Dre, a music producer. Many were shocked when the tech giant, which prides itself on in-house research and design, paid around $US3 billion ($4.5 billion) for the brand in 2014. More recently Diageo, a drinksmaker, has bought a tequila firm co-owned by Mr Clooney, in a deal valued at around $US1 billion, and a gin distiller partly owned by Mr Reynolds, for up to $US610 million ($928 million).

Chilling confessions of celebrity psychic John Edward
He's one of the most successful psychic mediums of all time. A man who — during a career spanning more than 30 years — has captivated audiences globally, thanks to his hit TV show Crossing Over, numerous best-selling books and a string of sellout stage shows around the world. During this time John Edward has brought a fresh, honest and thought provoking attitude to the world of psychic phenomena, as well as becoming the go-to psychic for some of Hollywood's biggest names, from Oprah to Kim Kardashian. And while he's the poster boy for psychics now, when he was first told that he had these otherworldly abilities, John was the ultimate cynic. A reluctant teenage psychic Raised on Long Island, New York, signs of John's abilities were apparent from an early age with family members often remarking on his uncanny knowledge of past events and family history. 'When I had the reading that put me on my path I thought the woman was crazy,' he tells 'I didn't even have any interest in the subject, whatsoever. 'In fact, I was a cynic — the biggest! My dad was a military guy and this was not something that he was a fan of, so I adopted some of his condescending, sarcastic manner towards it. 'I was the one heckling and pulling apart the readings that I'd see at my grandma's house.' However, after accepting his gift and honing it, John soon realised that — in addition to being psychic — he could also talk to the dead. 'That part kicked in two years later around the age of 17,' he says of his medium abilities. 'I had a very vivid premonition about my uncle passing — he was only 52 at the time. I remember trying to stop it and I couldn't, which was my first experience of realising that I can't stop what I know is going to happen. 'Right before he passed, I started to get many names during readings and I gradually realised that these names belonged to people who were all dead. I didn't understand what was happening, but it was like a switch had been flicked on.' Working with the FBI John published his first book in 1998 and then, three short years later, he was catapulted to stardom via his Crossing Over TV show, which was broadcast to millions. But away from the bright lights of the TV studio and the glossy magazines that interviewed him, the psychic had a secret sideline: he was helping FBI agent, Bob Hilland, solve cold cases. 'In 1998 this FBI guy came to me under the guise of a case,' he recalls. 'In reality he had heard me on local radio, which I was on a lot. 'And it used to anger him that they were giving me airtime because he felt that I wasn't legitimate and that I was taking advantage of people. So he took it upon himself to take me down. 'He came with a real case and, very quickly within that session, I was able to give him accurate information on the case that I couldn't have possibly have known. 'I then I wound up reading for him and I gave him information that he didn't know about his own actual family.' What followed was a working relationship that spanned more than 25 years and numerous cases. 'Bob would call me up and say something like: 'I'm working on a case and there's a woman that's missing.'' he explains. 'And that's all he would give me. And then my spirit guides would come in and they would give me information.' Catching a killer While the pair collaborated across many cases it was the infamous 'John Smith' murders that would come to define their time together. Committed by John David Smith III — who was convicted in 2001 for the murder of his first wife whose dismembered remains were found in a box and later indicted for the murder of his second wife — he murders were unsolved for decades until John began to assist on the case. And it's this investigation that is being charted in a new book co-authored between John and Bob entitled, Chasing Evil. 'I'm only telling people now as enough time has passed that my life will no longer be threatened by some of the people connected to the cases,' says John. 'Those people are behind bars now.' Slated for release in September, the book reveals for the first time how a sceptical FBI agent reached out to a famous psychic for help on the baffling case. But, when it comes to his technique for psychic sleuthing, how does it work? 'When I'm in the zone I've already meditated, prayed and put myself in the position of protecting my energy psychically, then spirits will give me words, thoughts, images and feelings,' John explains of the process. 'It's kind of like a psychic sign language — I have to put the pieces together and figure out what the message is. 'Bob would call me and say, for example: 'okay, I'm going to be doing the polygraph on this case — give me the insights that's going to help break the guy,'' he says. 'I am very clear: I didn't solve anything. Bob solved his cases. All I did was give him insights and how he worked with those insights helped him to successfully gain outcomes. 'I hope that this book gives people the window into possibilities so that if there are other psychics or mediums or people out there that can utilise their abilities to help law enforcement, it'll be taken with credibility and serious and seriously.' The downsides of the gift As you might expect, being immersed in the disturbing world of crime and killers can take its toll. 'When you're navigating a serial killer case and you're being taken on a journey of a timeline of what's happened you get a window into the mind of someone that can do something so pathologically dark,' he admits. 'It shows you, or showed me, the malleability of the human personality when they're that twisted. I wouldn't say that it's a dark energy … I would say that it's more of a pathology. Like these are people that are broken. These are people that have psychologically or physiologically have something pathologically wrong with them to be able to do some of the things that they've done.' As the original 'celebrity psychic' John faced 'stress, accusations and death threats' during his small screen heyday. But, despite decades having passed since calling time on Crossing Over, the psychic says that he's still guarded in his personal life. 'I'm still very guarded,' he admits. 'My family circle is very tight knit, which tends to lead to anxiety about this book coming out because I don't want any retaliatory stuff coming at me. So that's exactly where the core anxiety is coming from. You know, I've seen too much. I know too much.' Gearing up for an Australian tour Away from the limelight and fanfare, John's real life mission is helping grieving people across the world by bringing messages of comfort and hope from their departed loved ones through his global tours. And at the top of his list is Australia. 'My love of Australia is no secret,' he says. 'It's my favourite destination and I can't wait to get back there. I almost felt like I'm cheating on my country,' he chuckles. 'Because I have such a feeling of being connected here. The intersection with the audience is amazing in Australia — the energy here and the community vibe is so unique.' His most terrifying encounter As John's tour of Australia is in the midst of spooky season our chat turns to Halloween — and the related ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night. Turns out, despite the fact that the celebrity psychic has made a career out of talking to the dead, it doesn't mean that he isn't scared of spooks. 'In my 30 years of doing this, I've only had one experience where I truly believe the house as haunted,' he says. 'In 1987, my cousin moved from the city to the same suburb as me. I remember the first time I went to his new house, I arrived needing the bathroom and my cousin told me to use one downstairs as there was construction going on elsewhere. 'I went into the room and literally had performance anxiety — I couldn't pee! I felt like I had four people watching me, all of whom wanted me to leave. 'That was just the beginning. Weird stuff started to happen in the house: noises at night, glass breaking, things moving. You could write a book on our experiences. During my last visit, I was alone and I remember sitting down near the fireplace and looking at a battery-operated musical clown ornament. I picked it up and saw that there were no batteries in it. Anyway, seconds after putting it down, the clown started to play music. I ran out of there and told my cousin that I wouldn't be coming back!'
